Top 5 Indie Discoveries
6:30 AM
I still remember discovering the world of Indie Authors. While I have loved books put out by Christian publishers. I discovered some of my favorite books and authors among those who have independently published. I've picked five authors I have found and buy anything they write, and have sharired their works.
One of the earliest books I found was Just Like You by Elisabeth Allen. I fell in love with the characters and the style. While out of print at the moment, I have high hopes these stories will be returning to the world of published books before long. If you can find a copy, do so.
These stories are a slice of real life, wrapped in beautiful writing and with endearing characters. I found this series not only relatable but impactful in my early twenties when I first read them.
While I love everything written by J. Grace Pennington, my favorite is her Firmament series which starts with Radialloy.
I love Start Trek, and this series feels a little like it, yet it is clean and God-honoring. Not to mention, it has characters that will wedge themselves into your heart.
One of my earliest indie author discoveries has remained a favorite. While I love everything by this author, I love to suggest people start with Suit and Suitability by Kelsey Bryant.
While fantasy has never been my go-to genre, I will occasionally read it. Resistance by Jaye L. Knight is the best of the best when it comes to fantasy. This book and the series is an emotional roller-coaster you won't want to miss.
She recently released the last book in the series and I have to say it was one of the most satisfying endings to a series I've ever read.
Another series I adore and am always recommending starts with The Heart of Arcrea by Nicole Sager. I love this non-magical kingdom fantasy novel. It is not only a fun adventure, but full of Christian faith and values.
I love the covers she recently had made for this series. I think these would make perfect read-aloud books. All of this author's books are so good.

I need to read all of these XD they’ve been on my TBR for literal years. I think I have the Arcrea series, the whole thing? I just have to read them. And I do have S&S, gifted this year because a friend knew I’d love it. I’m hoping to read it this autumn…
ReplyDeleteAh! A Star-Trek like series? I'm sold! I watched the Next Generation spin-off series (Data and Jordie are my favorite characters.) Have you watched that series?
